Thank
you
honorable
speaker
today.
Many
people
across
the
globe
and
in
BC
BC
celebrating
Indian
festival
Diwali,
which
is
a
festival
of
lights
lights,
are
symbolic
of
this
festival
and
people
go
overboard
with
sparklers
and
fireworks
to
fuel
their
Inner.

B
In
India,
Diwali
is
a
major
cultural
event
for
Hindu,
Sikh,
Buddhist
and
Jain
diaspora.
The
beauty
of
Diwali
is
that
it
is
not
limited
to
the
celebration
of
just
one
historical
event.
Each
religion
remembers
different
stories
and
historical
events
behind
it.
Diwali
brings
with
it
happy
Tidings
and
a
promise
of
Better
Tomorrow
People
Like
lamps
in
their
houses
and
throw
Grand
feasts
to
celebrate
happiness
good
times
and
good
fortunate
I
have
many
beautiful,
full
memories
of
celebrating
Diwali
and
one
of
those
memories.
B
Are
my
parents
encouraging
us
to
share
what
we
have
with
the
less
fortunate
people
and
to
donate
generously?
My
parents
reminded
us
that,
when
harvest
season
and
business
opportunity
bring
prosperity
to
many
people,
there
are
still
countless
people
this
who,
despite
working
so
hard,
don't
have
enough
donation
around
Diwali
and
other
festival
was
big
part
of
my
family,
so
everyone
can
celebrate
with
their
loved
ones.
B
Therefore,
Diwali,
for
me
not
only
a
fun
Festival,
but
it
also
instilled
in
me
the
values
of
giving
Sharing,
kindness
and
being
thoughtful,
which
I
will
always
be
so
grateful
for
I
wish
everyone
celebrating
today,
a
very
Happy,
Diwali
and
happy
bandi
show
Devas.
May
your
life
be
as
colorful,
shimmering
and
magical
as
lights
of
the
valley.
Thank
you.
